Sounds like a sane design, at last! What about a variable magnification
factor of the rangefinder, in accordance with the lens used, instead of
those silly lines. Then we could use real long lenses, and re-introduce
the M for sports and birds photography. Oh, and auto-exposure, please.

Briefly put.... the electronic M7 many have been waiting for.
